I use a variety of techniques to help individuals manage symptoms and improve overall quality of life. Feedback I have gotten from clients about my strengths is making people feel comfortable, validated and heard.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
As a cognitive behavioral based therapist, my kind and open approach allows clients to confide in me so I can help them identify troubling situations and conditions in their lives as well as become more aware of their thoughts and ability to change them. My CBT approach helps individuals gain autonomy and progress in managing their mental health.
